Q: I am a 50 year old man and quite fit and healthy. I have all the time in the world and I would really like to enjoy the time I have with my wife. However, I am not being able to achieve an erection and unable to maintain firm erection. Why so?
A: It is okay to get frustrated. But in order to understand why it is happening, it is essential to know the underlying factors. You need to know why and how erections happen as the entire mechanism behind is complicated. However, to put in simply in one sentence, we can say that erection initiates in the brain. When a man is aroused, the stimuli sends a signal to the penis through the nervous system which in turn causes a series of chemicals in the penis to be released. These chemicals are responsible for triggering sponge like tissues in the penis which ultimately fills with blood and causes erection. One fault in this entire mechanism can cause Erectile Dysfunction.
